"Wasn't actually born in Australia, was born in Hungary but ended up living in Australia later in life and using it as his home base. Apparently he once worked a 3 hour (! ) match with Rikidozan."

[10.0] "Great big guy super heavyweight. One of the pioneers of super heavyweights that did well. He only wrestled in Europe, Asia, Australia and India. Never wrestled in North America. Would have been great in North America. Had feuds with Dara Singh. He even wrestled Lou Thesz in Singapore. Great at holds. Drew crowds of 100, 000 people in India."
